Question

I am trying to insert data from an array in mysql. I have multiple arrays. I have been trying to do something along the lines of this.

foreach ($titles as $title && $descriptions as $description) {
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO `stock` VALUES('', '$title', '$description')");
}

I would like mysql table to look like this.

item_id    title    description
_______________________________

1          title1   description1
2          title2   description2
...

Now I have figured out this won’t work is there any alternative to this. I have seen examples of while loops to do this but i am struggling to understand how that would work.
All help is appreciated in advance.

Answer 1

if size of $titles equal size of $descriptions and, you have sequencial arrays, you can do:

<?php
$titles = array(
    'foo',
    'bar'
);
$descriptions = array(
    'foo description',
    'bar description'
);

for($i = 0; $i < count($titles); $i++) {
    $title = $titles[$i];
    $description = $descriptions[$i];

    mysql_query("INSERT INTO `stock` VALUES('', '$title', '$description')");
}
